As a medical transcriptionist with limited office space in my home, even shelf space for my reference material is limited. I could have gotten a larger, more complete medical dictionary, and frankly there have been times that would have come in handy. But due to space considerations, this almost pocket-sized (yet very thick) volume has been a very pleasant surprise. While some features of larger dictionaries are missing, such as cross-referencing and extensive lists under "syndrome," "disease," etc., in my line of work I usually only need the spelling of such terms rather than definition, and I have specialty books from Stedman's to provide that; for a quick reference to find definitions of the 35,000 terms in this book, I'm thrilled to have an inexpensive, compact reference like this.

I am a graduate student studying Forensic Medicine, Forensic Pathology and Forensic Anthropology. In conjunction with my Gray's Anatomy book- I have all the essential resources at my access. This dictionary is very complete. Also, it is larger then pocket-size but compact enough that it is easy to take around with all of your other books. Recommended for students of undergraduate, graduate and medical school classes related to the field of medicine.

This is exactly what I need. I, too, am a medical transcriptionist and am very short on desk space so I was looking for a compact dicationary. And lugging/dragging my old Dorland's off the floor every time I need to look up one little word is really getting to me! Soooo, I'm very glad to have found this handy little book. And it's right in my price range, too!! haha!

I think that they should go down on the price of this book. No many people can afford that price for a book.

After nearly a month im yet to get this product even after contacting the seller im yet to get a reply .Please i need amazon to help me track this order cos i need the material urgently
